Dr. Weyh grew up in Belleville, KS., where he learned to love golfing, fishing, and quail hunting with his brother. He graduated from Belleville High School in 1952. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1952 to 1955. He attended Washburn University in Topeka, KS from 1956 to 1960 and graduated with a B.S. in biology and chemistry. Following graduation from Washburn, he began dental school at the University of Missouri in Kansas City, MO in the fall of 1960 and graduated in May 1964. During that time, he met the love of his life and married Martha Lee Christison R.N., on September 10, 1963. They both worked at Baptist Hospital in Kansas City, MO. Following his dental school graduation the young couple started their new life in Blue Rapids, KS., and later moved to Marysville, KS. After practicing dentistry in Kansas for fourteen years, the family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1978. Dr. Weyh practiced dentistry in both Scottsdale and Kearny, Arizona until his retirement in 1998. In March 1998, Dr. and Mrs. Weyh relocated to Cotter, AR., where they began their retirement. Doc loved to make things beautiful… from beautiful smiles to beautiful landscaping.
